Cave Canem - Cave Canem

CAVE CANEM s/t tape
(Epistrophy)
I had never heard of the band until I got this and now I see their name a little here and there. If it's because they're very up-and-coming or if it's just that I recognize it now I don't know. Probably the former.
> Musically Cave Canem are walking somewhere in the middle of being very boring and very good. This is often not in favor of the band, and so is not the case here either, but it's not as negative as it can seem. You see, I still think it's a good tape. The production is dark and heavy and the music is powerful with your mandatory dense and hoarse vocals. Nothing to complain about there, but I can't help but feel that Cave Canem are missing that little extra to make a long lasting impression.
> Even with all that said I find their crusty, käng-ish mid-tempo hardcore good enough to make an impression, even though I would like a little more original and/or worked through songs to make that impression last longer. They have some vinyl coming so we'll see what they can do on those as this is good enough to leave a wish to hear more, but they need to shape up to make me wanna get a lot more.
> They are from Germany and sing in German, which suits the music very good. English translations are provided in the cover of this pro printed tape.
> As closing I wanna mention that they probably have one of the best (or most depressive, or most witty - you decide) song titles of all year in the track "Das licht am ende des tunnels ist ein zug" (The light at the end of the tunnel is just a train). [Krogh, November 2006]

trujaca fala:
Nice joint 7" of two very interesting political crusty punk bands from Germany that play a sort of dark and downtuned "modern" neo crust without sounding similar and without sounding too much of a clone. It´s pretty interesting, so are their semi political, weight-full lyrix and the artwork is stunning. round up this is highly recommended
